The city of Princeton, Minnesota, is asking its residents to be more careful about what they dump down the drain after a mystery chemical caused problems at the city’s wastewater treatment plant two separate times.
“The chemical they’re dumping down is messing with our bacteria,” plant manager Chris Klinghagen told the Union Times. “So what that means is the bacteria which cleans the water isn’t necessarily cleaning the water anymore.”The newspaper reported that plant staff has observed cloudy water and foaming bubbles, and that phosphorus and TSS levels are higher than normal.Judge Rejects Dismissal Request from Former Michigan Governor
